similar to: sshd hangs on logout -- is this a bug?

As you are now probably aware, the portability team for openssh still has not fixed the hang-on-exit bug in the 2.9.9p2 release. Attached is a patch for 2.9.9p2 that fixes the hang-on-exit bug for Linux systems. It also adds a useful exit delay feature that has also not yet been incorporated into the main sources. For more information, see the SNFS (secure NFS) web page:

The hang-on-exit bug still hasn't been fixed in OpenSSH-3.0p1... :-( Here again is the patch to fix this bug under Linux, updated for OpenSSH-3.0p1. This has been exhaustively tested for six months now. It also add an exit delay option that can be useful. The patch does not lead to data loss under Linux. Please see the Secure NFS page (SNFS) for further details:

Here is a patch to implement a handy new feature proposed by John Hardin <johnh at aproposretail.com>. This is his description of the feature: New option for OpenSSH: Delay before exit. Command line option: -S delay Config file option: sleep {delay} Purpose: Wait the specified number of seconds after last traffic before dropping the connection and exiting. If ports are forwarded, this

Here is a patch to implement an exit delay in OpenSSH-3.0.2p1, proposed by John Hardin. This is his description of the feature: New option for OpenSSH: Delay before exit. Command line option: -S delay Config file option: sleep {delay} Purpose: Wait the specified number of seconds after last traffic before dropping the connection and exiting. If ports are forwarded, this causes the ssh client

The 4.6p1 sshd is logging this error during remote commands or file transfers: error: channel 0: chan_read_failed for istate 3 Platform is Solaris 8, 4.6p1 + OpenSSL 0.9.8d. The commands and transfers work correctly, so the error message appears to be spurious. The error message does not appear when processing logins. Otherwise 4.6p1 is running without any apparent problems. This error

I am running OpenSSH 2.9p1 on SunOS 5.7 w/4-24-2001 patch cluster. Like many other users I am seeing the hanging session on logout with background processes. This is a huge problem for me as I centrally manage 50+ machines with rdist across ssh. Instead of just complaining about the problem I thought I would put my CS degree to use and try to track down the problem myself. For starters,

Hi OpenSSH developers, I am using openSSH (now 2.9.9p2, but prob occurs in 2.9p2 also) to execute commands on a remote machine which outputs data to stdout then pipes it to another invocation of ssh which connects back to the first machine in the same way, where it starts a program to read and store the output from the command on the second machine. I am using the "command" option in

When I encounter the problem with TCP port forwarding locking up, I'll see this on the client window (if I haven't invoked ssh with -q): chan_shutdown_read failed for #1/fd6: Transport endpoint is not connected chan_shutdown_read failed for #1/fd6: Transport endpoint is not connected This is with Blowfish encryption. I have to kill and restart the client when this happens. Phil

The Linux implementation of TCP sockets has a bug which causes shutdown(sock, SHUT_RD) to fail spuriously (ENOTCONN) if the write side of the socket has already been shut down. If you are using SSH port forwarding to tunnel HTTP through a firewall, nchan.c will tickle this bug once for every HTTP exchange. You will therefore get lots of useless, annoying error messages: channel 2:

I'm reading this fine article on O'Reilly: http://linux.oreillynet.com/lpt/a//linux/2001/11/08/ssh_keystroke.html <quote> The paper concludes that the keystroke timing data observable from today's SSH implementations reveals a dangerously significant amount of information about user terminal sessions--enough to locate typed passwords in the session data stream and reduce the

Here is my third attempt at the idletimeout patch. I tried to address the points which Marcus Friedl brought up. It is actually bigger than the previous patches, but not as intrusive. It is big because it moves some stuff from serverloop.c to packet.c. - I moved all the logic to packet.c. This means that I also had to move the actual select() call, which used to be in serverloop.c to packet.c.

during my seminar of advanced exploitation techniques (SEAT, [1]) i developed some methods to crack into system via DMA (e.g. via firewire). as part of this i developed a program that steals loaded ssh private keys from ssh-agents. i was astonished to find that the keys are not immediately removed from the agent when a timeout occurs, but only the next time the agent is queried via its socket. i

The command "ssh ls -l /doesnotexist" gives various responses: Running from a 200 MHz PentiumPro with dsa key added to ssh-agent: Mistakes worst to fast machine: To a faster 600 MHz dual processor i686 600 MHz machine: ls: /doesnotexist: No such file or directory -- correct nothing at all -- wrong ls: select: Bad file descriptor -- wrong

Greetings, I have a problem with OpenSSH -current and SCO 3.2v4.2, when I execute a remote command or exit from a session, the connection hangs, ( line 326 of serverloop.c). This problem only exists when using ssh2. server side debug (-d -d -d ): debug1: Received SIGCHLD. debug2: channel 0: read failed debug2: channel 0: close_read debug2: channel 0: input open -> drain debug2: channel 0:

Hi openssh-unix-dev subscribers :) I have found that ServerAliveInterval & ServerAliveCountMax have some bug. Basically the ssh-alive check function (that verify the peer is alive) is called only if no data at all gets into ssh (when it should work only for server channel).I am pretty sure developers know about this ..anyway I have tried to fix this issue. Here is the patch: diff -rNu

Hello, In response to the timing analysis attacks presented by Dawn Song et. al. in her paper http://paris.cs.berkeley.edu/~dawnsong/ssh-timing.html we at Silicon Defense developed a patch for openssh to avoid such measures. Timing Analysis Evasion changes were developed by C. Jason Coit and Roel Jonkman of Silicon Defense. These changes cause SSH to send packets unless request not to,

Using OpenSSH_8.3p1 I had an open (working) connection to some other box; after a bit of inactivity, some device in the middle seems to have forgotten about the TCP connection (NAT) and broke it. I've got an EscapeChar defined, though; so first I tried to send a BREAK and, when that didn't help (TCP already gone, packets get lost!), I tried (just out of curiosity) a Rekey. Now I can see

Heya, Most of the windows ssh clients (putty, securecrt) have anti-idle features. They offer either a null packet or protocol no-op or user defined string to be sent over every x seconds. Is this possible or planned with the OpenSSH client? Our draconian firewall admins have started timing out ssh sessions. Yes I'm aware I could hack up a port forwarding dumb traffic process, but was
